Hi I am very happy to announce that I am finally a Android 13 user for my FP3. Since the update fingerprint for 1Password is gone. Use your fingerprint, face, or iris to unlock 1Password on your Android device Learn how to set up and use biometric unlock in the 1Password app on your A…

To my knowledge this is due to hightened security requirements by Google in Android 13 wrt. 11 which means the fingerprint hardware in the FP3 is no longer seen as “secure enough” by Google for the highest level of access to certain Android APIs including unlocking the Android keystore.

[image] DonFnord: No Fairphone fault at all in this case. I don’t agree here, because the communication of the fact wasn’t handled well. Having release notes ready as soon as the update gets rolled out is a bare minimum if you ask me and that point should have been included. That at least w…
